Answer:

12km or 12 kilometers

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following values:

For the first bearing we have:

30.3 degrees at a distance of 9 kilometers

We are asked to find the second distance of the second bearing at 40.3 degrees

Therefore, we have:

30.3 degrees = 9km

40.3 degrees = ?? Unknown( we designate this as y)

We crossmultiply

30.3 degrees × y = 9km × 40.3 degrees

Divide the both sides by 30.3 degrees

y = (9km × 40.3 degrees) ÷ 30.3 degrees

y = 362.7/30.3 degrees

y = 11.97029703 km

Approximately to the nearest tenth of a km

y = 12km.

Therefore, the distance of the plane from the mountain when the second bearing is taken​ (to the nearest tenth of a​ km) is 12km.

Answer:

x^{15}

Step-by-step explanation:

Distribute the ^3 on top

(27 x^{6} y^{-9})

distribute the ^ -9 on bottom, only to what is in the parenthesis

(27 x^{-9} y^{-9})

the 27's cross out, the y^{-9} 's cross out

x^{6}/ x^{-9} is left

move the  x^{-9} to the top of fraction to change its sign

x^{6} · x^{9} = x^{15}
